OBITUARY.
William Edgar Jones, son of Mr.
and Mrs. T. L. Jones, was born Feb?
ruary 23, 1890, and died Decembe!
2, 1907 Thus, this promising
voting man was cut down on the verv
threshold of life. In the presence of
such a dispensation of Divine Provi?
dence, we naturally exclaim. What a
pity! But, after all, is It a pity? Ev?
ery life has a purpose, and that pur?
pose embodies, a mission to glorify
God and bless humanity. That mis?
sion may be performed irrespectively
of the time element Within a few
hours from its birth, a human life,
may have successfully performed its
mission and be reedy to return to the
God who gave it. The time element,
therefore, does not determine the val?
ue of a life. Some men die old at
thirty while ethers die young at sev?
enty.
Our young friend was a considerute
son. He strove to bring his life into
haimony with tho commandment,
'?Honor thy father and thy mother."
He wps popular with the young
people In the community and a large
number of them attended the funeral
services.
His sudden and tragic death was a
groat blow to the family and the sor?
rowing ones have the deep sympathy
of the entire community. W. B. D.
Lillian, the little daughter of Mr.
Ycadon Delgar, was badly Injured
while pleying on a pile of lumber near
the passenger station on Monday. The
lumber fell in some wnv nnd one of
tho little girl s ankles was litjur d
Bhe It at the Surnter Hospital, and
it is hoped that sho will soon reco\c*
from hrr Injuries^
Little Lillian Delgar, who was in?
jured by a pile of lumber falling on
her ankle on Monday, Is at home
from the hospital, but her ankle Is so
badly Injured that she will be confined
to her room for several weeks. Her
friends hope that she will rapidly re?
cover and be with them again soon.
Tho commercial travellers arc be- |
ginning to come out again and the ho?
tels of this city are alive with them
In the ervenlhgs. The accommodations
here tor transient guests will soon be
oome crcwded again.

proving the crossing at the corner of

This was a needed Improvement as
thlfc locality has been very muddy in

The action of city council In making
an appropriation of $7f>0 for the Sec?
ond Regiment Band will no doubt
meet with general approval for the
people of Sumter are proud of tnelr

The money that will ho paid out for
mules this spring could Just as well
be kept in Sumter county The suc?
cess made of mule raising at the State
farm and by Messrs. J. J. Harby & E.
H. M??ses on their farm near this city,
Mr. R I. Manning and a few others
has demonstrated that as fine mule-'
can bo raised in Sumter county as
ever came from Kentucky.
All Of the preachers in the State de?
livered sermons on Sunday on the
prohibition movement and urged the
people to vote out the legalized sale
at whiskey In South Carolina Those
ip this county, of course, preached
good, strong -ermons In thH line and
it is supposed that much good will be
accomplished thereby, although the
question is a vexsntloua one and many
people are not yet prepared to vote

exclusively, and judging from the character of people to
whom we sell them, the results obtained, and the annual in?
crease in our business, we are forced to the conclusion, that _
based upon their analysis
THERE ARE NO RETTER GOODS MANUFACTURED.
It is *ery much to the credit of this company to say that since
the estalishment of Clemton College, they have
Never Had a Brand of Their Goods
to Fall Below the Guarantee.
Onr Kainit, Muriate of Potash and Nitrate of Soda, we import
direct in very Urge quantities, and most of this material we
have stored in the warehouse in Charleston, now ready for
shi ment
We cannot impress too forcibly on our patrons the necessity
for placing their oders with as little delay as possible, and
ha ing their goods shipped, ior we believe we are going to
have th<* greatest difficulty we hive experienced in
years in getting; de'iveries. The Terminal/Oompanv in
rharlfston who store all the imported poods write us, that
tip t the present lime, their shi; ments have been the small?
est for vears, and that unless they get orders more freely it
will be impossible for them to get out all the goods they have
stored in tin e for < Ian ing. Our reply to their letter was
Our Hands Were Tied.
We could not order out goods until we received instructions to
do so, but we feel assured that he who procrastinates this
year wi?l regret it.
